Double eyelid postoperative care

1. Avoid touching the surgical site with dirty hands to avoid bacterial infection. If you rub your eyes vigorously when removing makeup, even small gaps may allow bacteria to enter the surgical area through them. The surgical scars that heal after inflammation are particularly obvious. At the same time, inflammation may also affect the shape of the double eyelids, so you must pay attention to preventing inflammation.

2. You also need to pay attention to your posture after the operation. For example, lowering your head to read or lying on your stomach will aggravate the swelling, so it is best to tilt your head back and sit in a comfortable chair to rest; you should also raise your head when sleeping, which will help reduce swelling as soon as possible.

3. Strengthen the exercise of eye muscles. Only by constantly strengthening the exercise of opening your eyes wide can you promote blood circulation in the eye muscles and surrounding tissues, so as to reduce and gradually eliminate the swelling of the surgical site and promote the early absorption of surgical blood stasis.
